Stone Type

sandstone

Tympanum

skull

Border

There is a two line thin border around the circumference of this stone. It continues all the way over the tympanum, over the shoulders and down the sides. There are illustrated side panels inside of the border and to the left and right of the tablet. A two level concentric circle is at the top and the cascading imagery flows from that point. A single line borders the tablet.

Remark

The lightbulb shaped skull dominates the tympanum. Round eyes, triangular nasal cavity made up of shapes, simplified teeth all support an early rendition. The wings are single quill, multi-segment type.

Physical Status
